I ran on to this item and found it interesting: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880326534
By case, I assume that the seller means 20 boxes as that was what a "case" of shotgun shells meant back when these were made. There are 12 boxes showing in the picture.
Back in the 60s and into the 70s, my brother and I shot many, many cases of these in 1 oz. loads, and reloaded same (about 2-3 times until pinholes started in the paper near the top of the brass).
Dad always bought a case each fall before bird season started. Later, when he switched to a 20 gauge, he shot lots and lots of 20 gauge Federal papers like these.
Don't see a case offered often. I have no association with this item. |

Not knocking the chance to get some cool papers to shoot but you can get newly manufactured paper RST's for less and pick your shot size at the same time. |

Under the Item Characteristics section it says there are 300 rounds, so the 12 boxes shown are likely the only ones. |
